Planning Commission Meeting Minutes September 14, 2023 Page 10 of 14 Choi reminded the commission that this was simply a rezoning, and it had no bearing on the ultimate PUD application. He said that there was fundamentally too many underutilized commercial spaces zoned in the City, and there were not enough residentially zoned areas. Brauneis said that it was unfortunate that residential properties created a fiscal deficit, but he noted that without this, no one would be able to live in the City. He said the City was fortunate that a lot of its revenue came from sales tax and property tax. Krantz stated for the record that she did not feel that it met the rezoning requirements in the code, particularly given it said rezoning should be discouraged. She suggested that more grants could be given to businesses to make area thrive. The existing comprehensive plan called for unified downtown area with more commercial area in the DELO development. Moline argued that in its current state, the current DELO area did not meet the code's requirement for a sound, stable and desirable development environment. He said it should therefore be rezoned. Baskett moved motion to approve Resolution 18, and Howe seconded. Motion carried 6 to 1. b. East Street Village Preliminary Plat and Preliminary PUD. Adoption of Resolution 17, Series 2023 recommending approval of a preliminary Planned Unit Development (PUD) and preliminary plat for a residential development with 15 single-family detached units and 21 townhome units on 3 acres of land. i. Case Planner: Ellie Hassan, Planner II ii. Owner: East Street LLC iii. Applicant: Design Practice INC Brauneis opened public hearing. All public notice requirements were met. Howe said that as a local business owner, he has had dealings with a member of the applicant party, however this would not affect his ability to impartially judge the proposal. Staff Presentation. - Hassan introduced the plat and PUD application for East Street Village, at 421, 535, and 565 East Street. There were 10 existing single-family detached units on the lot, which were built between 1900 and 1960. The Historic Preservation Commission approved demolition of these structures during their July 2023 meeting. The first part of the application was a preliminary plat, which proposed creating a subdivision of 36 lots and 8 outlots. The outlots were to be used for the creation of private roads, parking, common open space, utilities, and drainage easements.
